Will my car make it?

There is noone in my family that is super smart about cars. I have a 1998 Ford Contour. It has a brand new timing belt & water pump. I have 103,000 miles on my car. I'm in OK and I have a friend in TN. I have thought about going to visit her and I can't afford a plane ticket. Its around 1,000 miles there. Since I have the new timing belt and water pump do you think my car would be ok? I wouldn't drive straight there I would stop half way so I wouldn't just be driving 1,000 in 1 day. I checked into renting a car, but since I'm under 25 (I'll be 24 when I go) I would have to pay an extra $25 a day and it would be almost $200 to rent a car for that long. End the end, round trip, I would have an extra 2,000 miles on my car.

What do you guys think?

I dont see why it wouldnt unless you have some major reliability issues.
